| eVidyaloka Partnership: Bringing Digital Classrooms to Our School Communities |
|
Since 2016, CESR has partnered with eVidyaloka Trust, a Bengaluru-based organization that connects volunteer teachers with rural government schools through live, interactive, technology-enabled classrooms. What began as a collaboration across three centres—Dumdumi, Chargali, and Jabarrah—has grown to encompass 10 school centres across Purulia district in 2026–27, delivering quality education to students in Grades 5–8. eVidyaloka’s network of dedicated volunteers leads the teaching, while CESR’s field team ensures on-the-ground infrastructure, coordination, and support needed to sustain these digital classrooms. This decade-long partnership reflects a shared commitment to educational equity—bridging the gap between rural students and quality teaching, regardless of geography. By combining eVidyaloka’s teaching expertise and technology platform with CESR’s deep community presence, we are able to offer children consistent, engaging learning experiences that would otherwise be out of reach. Every classroom under this programme stands as a testament to what sustained collaboration can achieve: steady growth, dedicated volunteers, and communities that continue to support their children’s education. From a modest beginning in three schools to a decade-long presence across ten centres, the partnership continues to demonstrate how shared commitment and consistent effort can transform access to education in rural Purulia. |
